Before I had an Aadvantage number, I was group 8 every single time and never bothered trying to carry on a bag for the overheads (baggage fee was worth 1. being able to pack a big bag, 2. Not having to lug anything other than a small backpack around airports, and 3. Not dealing with baggage space drama)
